2.	Morisaki, Kazuhiro; Morimoto, Hiroyuki; Ohshima, Takashi, Recent Progress on Catalytic Addition Reactions to N-Unsubstituted Imines, ACS CATALYSIS, 10.1021/acscatal.0c01212, 10, 12, 6924-6951, 2020.06, Catalytic addition reactions to N-unsubstituted (N-unprotected) imines can provide a more straightforward synthesis of amines. This direct process eliminates the unnecessary protecting-group manipulations that are required with N-substituted (N-protected) imines and can contribute to the development of green chemistry. Although their use has been limited due to difficulties associated with the nature of N-unsubstituted imines, recently developed catalytic methods enable the use of N-unsubstituted imines as electrophiles in various catalytic addition reactions. To facilitate an understanding of the state of the art development of synthetic methodologies, herein we review recent progress on catalytic addition reactions to N-unsubstituted imines. We begin with an overview of the chemistry of N-unsubstituted imines, followed by a summary of recent progress categorized according to the reaction type. We hope this review will help to stimulate further development of greener syntheses of nitrogen-containing compounds..

To address this issue, we report a scandium(III) triflate catalyzed direct synthesis of N-unprotected ketimines. Using commercially available reagents and Lewis acid catalysts, ketones were directly transformed into the corresponding N-unprotected ketimines in high yields with broad functional group tolerance, even in multigram scales. The reactions were readily applicable for one-pot synthesis of important compounds such as a glycine Schiff base without isolation of N-unprotected ketimine intermediates. Preliminary mechanistic studies to clarify the reaction mechanism are also described..

The utility of this reaction is demonstrated in the short step synthesis of (+)-AG-041R..

Herein, we report direct catalytic alcoholysis of 8-aminoquinoline amides, which are highly effective directing groups in regioselective functionalization reactions. The reactions proceeded with a simple combination of substrates, air-stable catalysts, and alcohols, affording the corresponding esters in good yields with broad functional group tolerance. Highly chemoselective cleavage of the 8-aminoquinoline amides in the presence of related carbonyl functionalities and preliminary mechanistic studies are also described..
